He was dismissed at 15 by a spectacular piece of work, Waddington turning a somersault in making a difficult catch. Bardsloy was taken at mid on, the second wicket falling at 57. Andrews had three escapes of being caught. Taking advantage of Rhodes and MaCaulaj s failure to maintain a good length he indulged in hard hitting and driving.

Hobbs possibly, will not be fit to play in the second test match. Heartio is not likely to play throughout the season. His health is very disquieting.
